Over the next five weeks, we will be looking at these five Reformational principles in our morning worship services. We hope that you can join us for this new sermon series as we seek the Lord in His Word to guide us into all truth....

It is that time of year again, when we ring out the current year (2016) and welcome the new year (2017). For most of the world, the new year is a time when life feels fresh and new. This seems to be the one time when we can put behind us our problems and get a fresh start. Curiously, I have seen a number of people ready for 2016 to end because it has been “such a horrible year.” Why? Because several famous celebrities have died. It is as if death is something unusual, and that with 2017, we can get away from death. But death is always with us. The Bible tells us that death is the inevitable result of sin (James 1:15), and sin is found in every person (Romans 3:23). There is even a common quip “two things are certain in life: death and taxes.”...

This is the time of year when people, especially Christians, think about the incarnation. The term “incarnation” comes from the Latin verb incarnare, which means “to be made flesh,” and it is the term we used to describe how God, in the Person of Jesus Christ, came into the world and took on humanity. It is a great mystery of the Christian faith ...

This is the weekend leading up to the celebration of Independence Day, or the July 4th holiday, in the United States. Our nation does not have as long a history as others, but it does seem very long and far away to celebrate an event that occurred 240 years ago....

It is that time of year again. A new year is approaching and with it a whole host of New Year’s Resolutions. For many Christians, that means another attempt to read through the entire Bible in a year....

One thing that has become obvious this week is that the young people who have come with us have been a huge part of what we have been able to accomplish. There is little substitute for youthful energy and drive. Additionally, the young people of Christ Church continue to show (as they do back in Katy) that they are willing to take initiative on work (not waiting to be told...

We had survived (and actually flourished!) one day! What we were able to accomplish on the construction site and at the English Camp, even though there were some difficulties and shortcomings, was a great encouragement to our team....

Each summer, the people of Christ Church band together to bring their time and talent to show children in the Katy community the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is amazing to me how much effort is involved in hosting more than 100 children for a week of mornings!...

By now I imagine most of you have seen or heard of the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court forcing homosexual “marriage” on all the States. While this is discouraging, I would advise you neither to be surprised nor despondent....

Join us this Lord's Day as we gather together to worship a risen Savior who is alive, and who ever lives to intercede for us! At Christ Church, we will have our two morning worship services at 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM and look together at "Who is Righteous?" (Luke 18:9-14). ...

That dreaded weekend is here: the time when we all lose an hour of our lives, and most importantly an hour of sleep! Daylight Savings Time begins tonight at 2:00 AM, and we need to "spring forward" one hour....

It’s October 25th, that is, my birthday. I have now turned the ripe, solidly middle-age of 45. I have long reached the point where, by average life expectancy, I have more years behind me than in front. With a nod to those my senior, I do understand that this does not make me objectively “old.” But I do think that a birthday is a good occasion to take s...

Christ Church announces our 2014 Fall Spiritual Life Conference, held on September 26-28, 2014.
This is our second Spiritual Life Conference, the purpose of which is to explore the effects of the Bible’s teaching on the daily life of the Christian. This year our topic is: “The Five Points of Calvinism and the Christian Life,” as presented by our spe...

The great challenges of life can be crushing to our minds and spirits. This is true when we are weighed down by our own inadequacies, mistakes, and especially our sin. We can do everything we want to try and distract ourselves from our need, but in the end it is not enough. We can pretend that our circumstances are not as black as they are; we can make excuses for our sins...

On Friday, our small group from Christ Church crossed the U.S. - Mexico border on our way to the Center for Church Planting (CPI) Vision Weekend in Monterrey. Crossing the border was less involved than I thought it would be, but there was still paperwork to fill out, a deposit to be made in order to bring the car into Mexico, and dollars to turn into pesos. As we travelled...

As impressive as the hardware behind the iPad (and the iPhone) is, the real power is in the myriad of apps that can be run on these devices. For virtually every intended use, there are several different options of apps to be purchased. I have been using an iPhone for several years now, and last year acquired an iPad. Many people have asked me to make app ...

The good news of the gospel is that there is hope for the hopeless. This is a time of great hope as we look to our great God and Savior, who has won the victory over sin, the devil, the flesh, and even death! ...

Do you wish you knew your Bible better now than you did at the beginning of the year? Have you often thought, “It would be a great thing to read the whole Bible from cover to cover, but I’m not sure I can” ? The start of a new year is the perfect time to plan to read through the Bible. There are many reading plans that are available – chronological ...
